264 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, NY 10025

264 Riverside Drive is a 10-story, 75-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1909, currently owned by David Lipson. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2018 and 2020, representing significant tenant comfort concerns. These included emergency complaints on April 20, 2020; December 17, 2019; December 9, 2019; and February 12, 2019, though in several instances tenants reported that the heating and hot water issues had been resolved by the time officials arrived.

A notable cluster of maintenance issues occurred in July 2018, including heavy water leak problems, mold, and various other repair needs involving windows, electrical outlets, and general cabinets, though these were subsequently addressed. The building has three open violations as of March 2022, regarding required safety notices for gas leaks, smoke detectors, and building registration information in the first story public hall. Previous violations from 2018 related to Apartment 4A's maintenance issues (water leak, plaster surfaces, and door repairs) were resolved. While there were multiple elevator-related violations in 2019 and records indicating inspection concerns, these were ultimately dismissed.

The property has maintained a clean record in recent years, with rodent inspections consistently passing between 2015 and 2024, and no bedbug infestations reported in the last two years. The most recent heating system complaints have been absent, and the building's inspection history shows improved maintenance compliance in recent years, with regular rodent inspections passing consistently. Elevators had issues in 2019, but these were subsequently resolved. The building has shown recent compliance with environmental standards, with no current violations related to bedbugs or significant maintenance issues.
